Kora Desktop 1.5.0 — Goal Mode, native toolbar, and safer execution

Version 1.5.0 is out! Many updates out there:

• Native title-bar toolbar. The master toolbar is integrated into the desktop title bar, leaving the workspace surface available for the task itself.

• Goal Mode. Set /goal <condition> to keep one session working until a tool-free evaluator confirms the condition, with visible progress, safe continuation, explicit stop, and terminal failure states. See Goal Mode.

• Inline mode commands. Start the composer with /ask, /plan, /debug, or /build to switch execution mode immediately while keeping the rest of the text as your prompt.

• Removable Goal chip. Selecting /goal in the composer turns it into a visible chip; type the condition beside it, remove the chip to cancel before sending, or submit to reconstruct the Goal command safely.

• Context composition breakdown. Open the context usage indicator to see how the latest request is distributed across messages, system tools, skills, system prompt, MCP tools, and metadata.

• Weighted cache visibility. The context details show the aggregate cache hit rate for completed requests instead of exposing only the latest request’s raw cache value.

• Local-first tool routing. Shell, scripts, Git, system tools, and relative paths use the selected local folder by default; remote execution requires an explicit remote project directory.

• Working-directory boundaries. Local and SSH command directories are checked against their allowed project roots before execution.

Good work with Kora!
